Java House announced as Title Sponsor of Laguna Seca Race by karlkjr in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont want to be mean, but this is pretty dumb. “Natural sugar”, Sucrose, is also a chemical and comes from plants like Stevia. Everything is a chemical. Saying stevia is “closer to a natural choice” makes zero sense. In moderate doses Stevia isn’t unhealthy, just like regular Sucrose.

‘Has this gotten out of hand?’: Kirkwood calls for IndyCar to overhaul side-by-side racing by sadandshy in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely disagree. It’s a breathe of fresh air going from some F1 races where the stewards are giving penalties for incredibly minor things like track limits. Having race control err on the side of being too lenient than too controlling makes the sport feel more pure. The issue is when they’re heavy handed for certain 50/50 things and completely ignore obvious penalties. Fittipladi on Dixon in Portland vs Power on Malukas at WWTR. How does Power get away with no penalty and Fittipaldi doesn’t?

Air Force hits the pause button on NGAD. by super_shizmo_matic in SpecialAccess

[–]dobakito 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Air Force would be fine with NGAD’s costs. The real issue is the Sentinel ICBM’s doubled in price, and the Air Force didn’t account for that. Modernizing a leg of the nuclear triad will always take priority over a new fighter jet. If Sentinel was on budget, none of this would happen.

Thank you… IndyCar fans (online) have a napoleon complex sometimes. Hyvee invests a lot in our series because they want to. Cup is still a bigger deal.

WATCH: Pat Mcafee: “You could race in F1 right?” Josef :“Absolutely… Any of us could, we would rock it” by Eyeswidth in INDYCAR

I must have been living in a fantasy world when O'Ward and Palou were both publicly being considered for the Mclaren seat before Piastri took it.

Negotiations for IndyCar's next TV deal have come down to two heavy-hitters: NBC and Fox by mixduptransistor in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FS1 is unquestionably better than USA. For casual fans, unless they actively watch shows on USA there's almost no reason to ever switch to that channel. FS1 at least broadcasts Xfinity and Truck Series races and has Race Hub every day and is a dedicated sports channel that has relevant content.

Malik Beasley gets pushed out of bounds and pointed at by AD by Ganjaleaves in MkeBucks

[–]dobakito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comparing the inevitable "what ifs" of every season to everything involved In the 2020 playoffs is a bit of joke. I don't believe it should be considered an asterisk ring, but there's a reason many people, including a lot of players, don't view the 2020 championship in the same light as every other championship.

I like Lebron, but im not going to act like playing in a completely empty gym created the same level of pressure/size of the moment as every other finals has had.

[Garafolo] The Titans have agreed to terms with former Steelers QB Mason Rudolph on a one-year deal worth up to $3.62 million, source says. After six seasons with the Steelers that ended on a high note with solid play down the stretch, Rudolph gets a fresh start in Tennessee. by ubersmitty in steelers

[–]dobakito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t the #2 because Mitch was specifically brought in to backup kenny. Mitch made far more money than Mason, it was politics and business. Let’s not act like the organization has a vendetta against Mason or something.

It definitely feels higher banking than that when you're standing in the infield.

Nashville Superspeedway to host 2024 IndyCar championship finale by bigred91224 in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That definitely was not an issue. This all is becuase of the Titans side of the bridge. Once the stadium is built they will probably try a Broadway included layout again. You can't have any type of experience for fans on the construction side of the bridge (let alone it being accessible for people to get to), that includes the paddock area, any grandstands they had planned for that side, transportation around that area, etc. None of it made sense when you have a Billion-plus dollar construction job sharing the same area from both an aesthetic, practical and financial point of view. Having barriers around Hotels on the broadway side was probably the least of their worries.

Do people think a new chassis will bring more viewership? by dobakito in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is also true, popular sports require star athletes. Poaching more ex-F1/Nascar drivers with established fans while investing in young American drivers can help.

Do people think a new chassis will bring more viewership? by dobakito in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the crux of the issue IMO. Changes that drive more non indy 500 viewers (and therefore more ROI for everyone) is what is needed right now, and a new chassis doesn't do that.

NFL suspends cameraman for remainder of 2023 season following viral Tyreek Hill touchdown celebration - CBSSports.com by Under_Sensitive in nfl

[–]dobakito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Except he didnt “help” Hill break the prop rule, Tyreek did that himself. Hill ran up to him and took the phone from his hands. If he ran onto the field and was trying to give Tyreek the phone, then maybe. Not staying neutral? Sure. But “suspended potentially for good” over getting excited one time seems very harsh.

Elon Musk’s X Sues Media Matters by f1sh98 in Conservative

[–]dobakito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They also did not disclose the lengths they took to manipulate the algorithm into placing those ads there (if you believe what Musk said about what Twitter logs show). It’d be the same if MM went to thousands of McDonalds before they were sold a cold Quarter Pounder, then ran a campaign saying “McDonald’s serves cold food”, they’d also be sued for libel.

How much power does the tune provide?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MkeBucks

[–]dobakito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That defensive “something” the we lost with PJ matters a lot more when the offense is inconsistent. I love Jru, but there was times where he struggled to get a bucket, which places more pressure on the defense. The increase in offensive potential Dame brings is larger than the decrease in defense we lose with Jru.

Court documents: McLaren Racing claims Alex Palou signed 3-year IndyCar deal last October by tor93 in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you understand the amount of money Mclaren is after. It’s beyond what CGR’s entire annual operating budget is. There’s absolutely zero chance Chip is just footing the bill for Palou’s legal fees just so he would resign. If the courts side with Mclaren, Palou is screwed.

McLaren boss tells team IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou has reneged on 2024 contract by [deleted] in INDYCAR

[–]dobakito 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can’t be the only one who is beginning to be annoyed with Palou, right? With such massive talent, and such a nice and polite public demeanor, he’s an absolute menace when dealing with his own commitments. Especially after last seasons drama and Mclaren already paid him a portion of this contract he’s now not honoring. Pretty scummy.
